04:39

I Patrick Brown. That right? That’s correct. Hey.

04:46

By the way, the reason I went with you last because I kind of got a beef with you. Um, I went to the Calgary game on the see the 20th of February, so a few weeks ago, and we were there early during warm ups, this flu over the glass and struck me very hard on the arm last like son of a gun look up to find out if it came from your stick. Why are these flying over the wall? Do we warm up? I know it’s a common thing because they’re everywhere. But I wanted to talk to you about that because I want to see if you autograph this after the show. Yeah, cool.

05:18

And I gotta hit them up.

05:20

Yeah, anyway, so how did you guys so everyone says oh these are all the hockey players and then they just get they hire him they come down here for the weekend and play box across so maybe each you guys will just like real quick talk about how you got into it and and kind of what the lacrosse routes if they weren’t the cross routes like hockey was how did it start? Let’s go ahead Phil.

05:38

I just have three other brothers so I was always playing whatever sports they’re playing and it was for me it was hockey, lacrosse hockey in the winter and then I put the skates away. I play lacrosse in the summer. Yep. That was that. Okay,

05:50

yeah, lacrosse really wasn’t a big thing in my family. I’m the first and pretty much only one to play it so just in the summertime one time watch my brother play soccer went into the arena to go to the bathroom. They’re playing lacrosse and I was like that’s how it all started for me.

06:03

Oh, like they were having a box game. Yeah. Before it Oh, for sure.

06:07

Yeah, for me. I’m the opposite. I never played hockey. I don’t know I always got mad at my dad. But he said I didn’t want to play so I never got to play but my my dad my uncles all played lacrosse was kind of like when I was born. And lacrosse is big then Yeah, especially in New Westminster. It’s really big where I’m from and my brother plays in NLL same league as me, so Oh, no. Looking up to him.

06:27

Are you gonna play against him?

06:28

I have not played against them. We don’t play them this year. He’s in place for Alberni so he’s in a different

06:33

okay you guys have any friends or family who play as well in

06:37

a lot of friends I play with drones that you met your Oh really? And that alone playing on our team as well?

06:43

No kidding. Are they the ones that Nathan always fight? Is that is that because of that?

06:47

I don’t know. I don’t

06:50

know those guys. Are you just it never it’s never personal. Yeah. Just the game

06:55

would you tell us they don’t know what sort of training regular lacrosse in box the cross which is what you guys do? Yeah. So

07:01

box the cross compared to feel as we play in like a hockey rink. Same exact thing talking about we’re on turf. So the way I would explain is like it’s almost like basketball the way they play defense like five on five and like a box. And then you’re just going up and down. Our offensive players go on they play offense, we lose the ball, you get off their defensive players go on. And I think what makes it a little more entertaining the field across is our short clock name is basketball. You have 30 seconds. So makes the game really fast paced up and

07:30

they do not call the fastest game on two feet for nothing. I mean, we’ve been to a few matches it’s it’s unbelievable how the action never stops. Yeah, the thing we have a question about the rotation. I’m as we’ll get to it now. But tell us about if you don’t mind why you guys rotate every single position. What’s going on there with that? Nathan, please tell if you don’t mind.

07:50

Like just to reiterate like You mean, like guys come on

07:54

position and you rotate in almost every play

07:57

every like there’s times you’ve only been on there like two seconds. Nathan like you come on. Oh yeah, and you right

08:01

off. So it’s just to reiterate what we’re saying. It’s like that’s the change of possession. So that’s all five offense coming off, but we can put all five of our defense out on the floor.

08:10

And it’s the idea that that substitution takes place when those guys can run faster than somebody will clear that ball to the other side is like that’s the goal kinda

08:19

Yeah, we also have transition players so you’ll have one probably defenseman that’ll run the ball up as well just to pass it off to the old guys or you have some trust and a couple of guys to like come back on defenses

08:30

for yeah I think the idea is just like some guys are better at the some are better at Oh, but I they back in the day guys played both ways. And then it slowly just changed it is up here offensive players pure defense.

08:41

Oh, really? So the line changes like every

08:44

day there’s some guys who want to NCAA stuff but on offense because they just don’t have the hands. Big hands big ball but then they’re on the other end of

08:51

the floor so like blocks Yeah.

08:53

So the the grass players or the non box players always claim that the box is a little sneaky. Like I’ve heard things like Can you can you thumb the ball in the net? Like I’ve heard all kinds of different rule like dirty and maybe not dirty is the right word, but it’s just crazy. Yeah, you’re

09:09

not cheating. You’re not trying.

09:11

Yeah, yeah. Is that what it

09:13

means? There’s a bunch of guys Ronnie who’s you can do that on can

09:20

put a target on your back okay,

09:22

go fill the schedule you guys keep most most that know about Panther see know that most of you guys are Canadians. And you fly down for Wednesday Thursday in practice, practice game. Could you explain how the schedule works in your because you guys all have other jobs right?

09:39

But actually this year we’re living in a market. Oh, schedule has been a lot easier for me and us this year. We’re just practicing during the week working out doing lessons with kids and then practicing on the Friday game Saturday and then back to it repeat. Oh well, nice. Like seasons before prior I’d work during the week and then you’d have this Friday off you fly out here. Depending what game you play for you practice some teams don’t practice some teams do and then the morning shoot around walkthrough and then game on then you’re flying home Sunday morning. Wow.

10:11

Pregame nap.

10:12

Yeah for shadow naps.

10:14

Well, let’s talk to Nathan real quick Britain because we have a story I told you all fair. We want to share this with you. We’re at the game again. Maybe it was Calgary or a previous one. And we’re sitting with Brinton and we’re watching it was before the game maybe was during the game, sorry. And he’s like, he says to me, this is not a joke. He’s like, look at number two of them are 28 He’s like, That guy’s like a heat seeking missile. I’m like, I was like, Oh my God. He is like you for some reason. You see, like, all sudden, you’ll fly through these, this group and you’ll just like, lay into somebody. And it’s awesome. I was like, This guy’s got an attitude. There’s something cool about this guy. Not that you guys aren’t cool. But this grinning guy like he’s going after people. It’s

10:52

got some of this

10:55

is there it is. So what’s going on with that? That’s awesome. Is that just kind of how you’re wired? I think

11:00

it’s just a My Little Man comp is definitely why

11:04

you got like only older brothers.

11:07

Yeah, I got one older brother, but I don’t think that was ever the issue. wasn’t like he wouldn’t weigh on you and your kid. I think it was roles reverse there. Yeah. No, I just I guess gotta find different ways to do things that teammates I guess. So yeah, just play hard and fast that things will come but

11:22

you’ve you’ve grown as a player, like you noticed that like when you first came out, there was a lot of that. But you scored in the last game when we went and and I think that continues. So you can tell that it’s just it’s like, yeah, the aggressiveness is part of it. But then there’s also because really, you know, Lacrosse is a finesse game, right. And there, you shouldn’t be hitting everybody in there. It’s it’s really managing of that space, and that ball and passing and maybe guys talk a little bit about that. And kind of how you you try to become like this finesse player,

11:51

I find also it’s just like understanding your role as well. Like, just like, some guys are better at offense, some guys are better defense, some guys are better at certain things of offense. So like, you got two leading points on the team. And then we got to be there for different roles to free them open.

12:09

Yeah, yeah. So for the young lacrosse players out there, I got one in my house, who’s in eighth grade. And you can see when these kids can shoot, opposite hand, they get, they get to go every time. So maybe like talk about just the dominance of like one hand versus another and how I mean, it’s like crazy how

12:26

I mean honestly caught up, I never even I don’t even know how to really know, I never I never switch hands during a game. It’s not really inbox across. And I really have to it’s not really needed. But I know there’s just something I never I was never back this girl

12:41

inbox across a dominant, right. You don’t really have as much time in box across because we’re in such a smaller space compared to field. Yeah, whereas in field, you have so much space and time to switch over to that other hand. In box across, you kind of always have a guy that’s on your handset and your stick. You try to switch hands and it’s

12:57

not gonna happen. It’s not gonna happen and you don’t eat in the boxcars. You don’t have the the underhand like the roll shot. You know, do you

13:04

got that in my repertoire?

13:06

That’s really shot.

13:08

I’m sorry. Yeah. Last game like that. Game back again.

13:13

I was at one of the games. Calling me out. Not cool.

13:19

This is the first season for Panther city. I know the record isn’t what you want it to be not. We’re not here to talk about that. But what are your thoughts on the the club the program the way things are going if you don’t mind? I wonder to time are you I know you guys are positive. You’re trying to get this thing going. Crowds are starting to get better, I think what start with you what what’s the thought?

13:38

Oh, obviously, yeah, we started off slow. But no, we’re still in the race, we still have a chance to make playoffs if we keep winning some games. But uh, I just think it’s great. Especially how green this area is with lacrosse. I think once we get like, like, once you come to one game, like they’ll want to come back. Like, it’s so fast, and it’s fun to watch. And obviously, we’re a new group and expansion team. But uh, like, our team’s whole motto is like we’re not expansion, or we’re regular team. And I think we’re only going to get better obviously, we’re like, I think the youngest team in the league. Oh, yeah. So I think we’re only going up.

14:12

That’s great. Yeah, there’s a lot of room for improvement and things like that. We’re all high hopes kind of everybody on our staff to get this team together this year. I was drafted this year so I’ve really nothing to compare it to but it was such an easy transition. And you know coming into the league 22 years old living in market leaving home it’s definitely like a process you get to go through and guys have been great. I guess that’s really all I can be grateful for as well. Yeah, I think playing the sport I love right. Yeah,

14:40

I think the biggest thing is just we’re building the culture here. Like we’re trying to build a winning culture and all the wins are in common but the compete levels there every game and that’s something that TK really hammers down on is our compete and our will and our resiliency to bounce back from adversity especially last game, you know, blowing that lead late and then, you know, like, we’re on the bench like they tied it we’re all like not like we’re gonna win this game and sure enough like we go on next game and or next shift and three reps on home so I think he’s hammering down the compete level in us and yeah, gonna go a long way.

15:10

Do you guys go back home and like are celebrities in your hometown? Like is it vague there? I mean, some of the smaller places maybe or is it just it’s something you go and do and then you come back and it’s like,

15:21

I wouldn’t say the library maybe like if you go into lacrosse arena, like some people might recognize that stuff. But yeah, I wouldn’t say people are bombarding you. Yeah, I’m town.

15:30

Have you enjoyed the life though? That it’s like provided, you know, like, kind of was golfing last? Would you play golf here in Fort Worth? Yeah,

15:38

I mean, they’ll go and hit the links wells. The wells, just start now. Oh, sweet.

15:42

Are you guys he was making enough money. I mean, he was my dad asked him. Are you making enough money to do this to sustain yourselves? Yeah, that’s fantastic.

15:50

Are you like Texas? Like when you came down? Were you kind of blown away by hopefully it was

15:55

really culture shock. But yeah, the weather’s nice things. I look back home and it’s like t minus well, yeah. We’re nice. Yeah. Nice. Nice.

16:04

Yeah. Oh, yeah. It’s a different world over there. Yeah. You guys are Billy Bob’s. That’s what you said. Did you go to a bobsled?

16:13

Now get some free tickets. Oh, nice. Who’s playing at Billy Bob’s?

16:17

Oh, no. You just go there. Yeah, we’ve been there. We saw what contours that I said his name. Hey, Roy Rogers is

16:28

playing tonight. Oh, get out of here. Roy Rogers and neither is that a real day? Bob’s drink man like a man they call Roy Rogers like a sprite and grenadine here. It’s like how’s the camaraderie?

16:43

His album his albums called on the rocks? Oh, no.

16:47

I still think he’s kidding.

16:50

I’m not gonna lie. It’s actually a favorite artist.

16:54

You know, you’re a Canadian think a Texas you’re like, oh, Roy Rogers. Yeah, that doesn’t make it up a bit. But now he’s telling me they got a restaurant named Roy Rogers. So anyway, the camaraderie like are you guys boys? You guys all get along? Well, is it is it cool enough? Like you’re on a team where you get to know someone I love? Yeah, I like each other.

17:12

I love him. I love these guys. You know brothers fight, but we always come back to each other.

17:18

Are you guys? Yes, for sure. Any nicknames you guys have for each other? Do people have got that right have a nickname? Yeah.

17:26

We got a funny one.

17:27

Captain Phil or Uncle. Uncle.

17:30

Yeah, Uncle Phil boots. What about you? guys on the team is call me mouth or Malcolm’s? I got the double letters. Petters. Call me. What about you, Nathan? I need to ban Gremlin

17:50

stance or something? Yeah, that’s a good one. Go that one.

17:54

Is anybody married or like have somebody that they got to leave every weekend to come down here?

17:59

Yeah, I feel like none of us though. Guys. We’re back lifelong.

18:03

Oh, yeah. Say that again. Look right in the camera.

18:06

There’ll be they’ll be engaged by this weekend.

18:08

Yeah for at Billy Bob. I want to beat your wife at Billy Bob’s Okay. Ladies, if you did not. Oh, Lucas did a friend of mine actually did so sorry, Brian. I was just

18:20

so where’s are some of the cool places you guys go to play like what other arenas that are like amazing places to play that you love going?

18:27

We had our first game at the Wells Fargo in Philadelphia. That was pretty cool. That’s pretty neat to go it’s good crowd as well. Yeah. Especially because you got like all the other arenas beside it. So it’s just

18:37

I think any any of the teams that are also owned by NHL teams, we get to play a nice routine. Is that the same?

18:43

Are the crowds bigger up northeast way? Fair? Yeah,

18:47

actually, Calgary and Colorado have some pretty good crowds too. Nice. That’s a nice arena so that

18:52

we’re going from Fort Worth up to Canada to play a team where you’re from and you kind of have that crossover.

18:58

I don’t know if that’s like I like going back to the Canadian cities. I think it’s a good environment there. I think they like

19:04

they do get there here. You know, I just think that with the growth of it even like in the younger guy, like I mean Dallas is blown up with lacrosse big time. Oh, yeah. And there was apparently like some high schools there like Highland Park where they won the state championship in football. But the majority of the football kids went to college playing lacrosse, you know, and it’s almost like a place where they’re getting a lot more college athletes from that. So I think it’s great that you guys are here and really promoting that too. You know, especially that Fort Worth got it. I think that was a big thing too. And you have a great arena here I don’t think

19:42

it makes us want to play some professional across you are not skilled. I would like to see you get out there and see what happens I’m scared I watch I don’t think I’ve ever seen you run and watch grin grin in my lay me out. Yeah. I think I don’t want to get hit like you hit some of those guys. Yeah. Well, you feel you mentioned TK coach. Yeah. Tell us about This guy

20:01

I’d say his ultimate competitor I mean he he drafted me my very first season in New England so he was my first really Muse my first offensive coach so things I learned from him I still like I used to this day like he’s just very like he wants you to learn he wants you to get better and like I said just ultimate competitor to Terry oh yeah sorry So why have you but that wants a lot out of you and doesn’t even take shit from now on like be the best player on the team and like you fucked up really hear from

20:30

Andy is like this you guys get on their

20:33

asses because they’re you guys he gets on everyone’s

20:35

yeah your team the kitty or something? Or he said let the kitty roar so he’s awake this weekend? Yeah, for sure for sure.

20:45

You know the kids always get yelled at the most trust us we know this. So I’ve

20:49

noticed on the video game front I don’t know if you guys are gamers but they don’t have a lacrosse they don’t have like any any

20:58

last lacrosse back in the day. Oh they station Yeah, but not like that. Oh no. Yeah, no new game.

21:04

You guys find yourselves playing video. Like what’s the off time besides going to Billy box

21:08

like? Well, we’ll play a little call card games.

21:13

Oh, what kind of cards this game is always changing

21:21

rules are written on the notes of his phone. It’s pretty sketchy. Yeah. Is it like a four

21:26

person you can play for people just play one on one meal well what’s the name of this game? It’s called gotcha gotcha homemade

21:34

yes get made up a little bit.

21:37

It’s actually payday today like yeah, I

21:40

don’t know we just keep on back are you

21:45

guys paid on during the season or is it an annual thing? How does that work? Yeah, we get paid bi weekly bi weekly during the season? Yeah.

21:53

offseason offseason Oh,

21:54

you’re training Yeah, and you’re off seasons

21:57

I work as a trailer mechanic back home but I’m probably I’m looking to stay down here

22:01

yes is work with a lot of kids around you like somebody I thought one of you guys live Yeah, we

22:05

all live here this season. Oh cool. Throughout the summer and stuff Yeah, far from me not far from here either right now. Yeah.

22:13

We gotta have you guys back cuz we know you’re gonna have a lady friend. Next time we see you because you guys are single around this place. This place is in trouble. Good luck with that.

22:23

Yeah, yeah. Question goalie.

22:26

Why is the goalie so freaking large? I know he’s not a large guy necessarily. But he looks like he

22:33

I have an idea to answer that. Why don’t we get one of these Fiddlesticks and then you put a ball a lacrosse ball in and throw it at JW and see what the answer kind

22:43

of get that part yeah, the goal there’s no almost all I know there is but he’s almost blocking stinking goal up it’s incredible and even scoring a goal it’s now much more challenging it’s amazing. Yeah,

22:53

I think it’s funny to on social media people that don’t know the game they’re always like roasting the goal is because they look so big. Like how are they letting anything in? Yeah, it’s like they’re covering the whole net like these guys think but I don’t know guys are just so deceptive with their sticks. You can get the movie Oh, yeah, it’s uh not as hard as it looked.

23:09

What’s the best move the best scoring move? You don’t get an answer that I guess Nathan right.

23:15

We talked him across still or Yeah, yeah. Okay.

23:17

Inside you’re talking about Billy Bob.

23:19

Young guy.

23:23

Called the dip and dunk. What is my favorite dip? Dunk it over?

23:27

Oh yeah, yeah, cuz it doesn’t have to have a lot of

23:30

power right now because the goalie will drop the goalie will drop and just Hopper yeah so like

23:34

unlike our store you’re not trying to bounce it necessarily in as much as

23:38

so if you’re in tight if you’re on the crease is dip and dunk yeah oh yeah, they got a bow

23:43

Yeah,

23:44

I’d honestly that says the same thing different like any fake on this fake short go far big Largo. Yeah, again, or you can if you’re on the crease you can dive dive across the crease

23:55

Oh yeah, that’s a good one but that one that I saw you scored you were there was a pretty there’s a lot of momentum behind it. It was from pretty far out.

24:02

Oh the shot from outside last game

24:04

Yes. I mean there it like it was not like that like where you’re getting so close to the crease and all that yeah, that was

24:11

Yeah, well, sometimes you can’t get on an inside so you have to extra shots from the sides. Yeah, you have a pretty good jobs. That those corners I guess. Yeah, yeah, fortunately this one

24:20

I noticed so you guys see this hat I got this cap tech sponsor as you see I weave in that in for my friend Mike Thomas. Cap Tech’s thanks for sponsoring us you guys got money these these guys playing you guys since you guys are here. You probably want to get a local bank check them out. I mean, oh yeah. So when you have to go withdraw that money at Billy Bob’s to buy those ladies more drinks then you know sir know where to get on them.

24:45

What advice would you give a young person like his kid these kids that are learning lacrosse it it there is a growing bill with regard I have to believe because I see it but what would you tell these kids that to get them involved in the sport? Anything specific?

24:58

I would always I always just Keep you’re sticking your hand all the time I was I always played wall ball every day I bring my stick to school like recess. Playing wall ball, it still sleeps with this forever. God always just always have your stick in hand and your hands work on your hand everything.

25:13

Even to get like that you said into the sport. Lacrosse can be a great like addition, like feature skills, or other sports as well like football or send your speed but working. Obviously you see a lot of these people airing lacrosse with football.

25:27

Yeah. Football player make good lacrosse player necessarily. Are

25:32

you heard of Chris Hogan? Yes. So they’re

25:34

in the field in the field the game for sure. Because, you know, they have all that space to run. They’re so awful.

25:40

Yeah. What about you?

25:42

Well, what do you think but I mean, kind of school growing up is just I was always playing with my brother. So if you have a sibling and they get them into it, or like a friend and then you always have someone to just go to the box, throw the ball around with trying things and then always getting creative, you know, trying new things and, and also watch it watch a lot across. I think that’s one of the main things that helped me get to the next level. I was always watching my brother and older people and like, Oh, that’s pretty cool. Yeah.

26:03

I watched this movie while on the floor. Pretty much every

26:06

floor on the floor. That’s okay, I got okay, I get funny. You said that on the pitch back, are they wall ball because last time my son had a game and they actually beat the school where JW son goes to school. So it was a horrible time while you’re bringing that in these

26:22

gentlemen do not care about are they sure they will. But Jay, make sure you edit that out of the show.

26:26

But he said my son was like, you know, we should probably get that pitch back back out. Like you can just tell like, I mean, the actually all saints has a team. That’s those kids had great stick skills for how young of a team it was, I think there was like their first one. And it makes all the difference. I mean, it really goes a long way. And that’s something too is like Lacrosse is a different game. If you’re watching that ball in the net. You’re gonna get hit like that’s where you know someone’s gonna try to knock it

26:51

out even I was just tape a piece on the wall and hit that 10 times in a row. Yeah, little hotel room and condo. No Hotel.
